GANG RAPE VICTIM

The lawsuit comes on the heels of Uber Chief Executive Officer Travis Kalanick's announcement that he will take a leave of absence and the forced departure of the company's head of business, Emil Michael.

The decomposed and mutilated body of the woman, who went missing from Sonipat on May 9 and was gang-raped and brutally murdered, was found near the Industrial Model Township in Urban Estate, Rohtak, on May 11.

A 12-year-old mentally challenged student of a government school was allegedly gangraped by the school principal and three teachers in Bihar's Jehanabad. The victim’s mother, who is a teacher in the same school, came to know of the incident after students came running with the victim after a hue and cry was heard.

The Supreme Court upheld the death penalty for the four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder. The top court was hearing an appeal filed by the four convicts - Akshay, Pawan, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh - who challenged the Delhi High Court's March 2014 confirmation of the death sentence handed to them by a trial court in 2013.
